II recently obtained my PhD degree from the Centre of Social Medicine and Community Health at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi. My academic journey has been profoundly dedicated to exploring the intersection of cultural perceptions of illness and cancer care-seeking behaviors among the Nagas in Nagaland, reflecting my deep commitment to understanding complex health issues within different cultural contexts. Currently, I am working as a Learning Support Assistant at New Directions in Wrexham, where I am actively engaged in providing educational assistance to children with special needs at both primary and secondary school levels. My role involves adapting to diverse learning environments and needs, ensuring a supportive and inclusive educational experience for students facing unique challenges.
